Phenomenal!
I purchased this for my 11 yr old son. I've been reading every word and am amazed at some tips I never knew. I'm feeling even more confident in my own cooking now. The way it's written is perfect for any age. Honestly if you don't know how to cook even as an adult this book is for you. And the recipies are so yummy! Buy it!!!

This is a solid introduction to real cooking for kids. I like how it starts with cooking lessons--reading a recipe, measuring skills, using the stove, and "classic fried egg" are the first four--that it immediately ties to a real recipe to practice that skill with. Then there are a lot more recipes in the second half of the book that your kid can use to practice those skills further and learn some new ones.
Not too babyish or too obscure. Good for all ages of kids who are interested in learning to cook, I think, and with a lot of normal foods that kids will be mostly familiar with, but without just making chicken nuggets and grilled cheese.
A solid pick!

I normally don't critique cookbooks for not having enough photos but for a kids cookbook photos for every recipe is a must-have. The recipes look good and the instructions are sound I just think the lack of photos would be a deterrent for most kids. Due to lack of pictures and reliance on text-based instruction this book is best for ages 12 and up (unless you have a younger kid who is both a foodie and has above average attention span and reading comprehension.)

Not just for kids
I know this cookbook was meant for kids but I learned a lot too! Can't wait to try some of the recipes!

I got this book because my three year old loves to be in the kitchen with me. We even read parts of the book together. The book covers the basics well. It goes over clean work spaces and food prep/kitchen tool safety as well as healthier food choices (such as organic produce and grass fed beef). I got a little lost with some of the recipes though. They aren't typical "kid food." I'm not sure I could even make my kid eat some of it. Some of its a little much for me even (I don't have flake salt in my kitchen...maybe I should?) and I've been cooking since I was little like my son. I guess I'm a southern comfort food kind of gal. I will definitely be making the "Orange Spiced French Toast" this weekend though!! Overall, good for a "foodie" child as the title suggests, but maybe not for the average, chicken nuggets and yogurt kid.

Great for new cooks.... Just not kids
This is a great starter cook book for teens or adults. My 15 year old son love reading this with me. My 6 year old not so much.
My two boys love helping me in the kitchen. The part they love the most is eating the meal after. A lot of the meals in this book they would not enjoy as a kid.
I would recommend this book to a family with teens. I am not sure if it is because I read this on my iPad that I didn't see as many pictures as I would have expected to see (especially for a kids book)
